my favorite phrase in all of the Bible is “but God”. these two words are such a powerful reminder that who we are & what we face are only half of the story.
your circumstance might be dire but God is faithful. but God is provider. but God is comforter. but God is strength.
One day Paul was killing Christians, the next day he was a Christian. One day Peter was a fisherman, the next day he was a fisher of men. Don’t judge someone based on that one day. If God can create the whole world in six days, He can surely create a new heart in one.
